OK, what you want is a lot simpler than a form. Have a look at the first
part of the article at

Thanks, Jay, for the response. I will check out the tutorial links
you suggest.

More specifically, this is what I want to do:

I copied the HTML code from one of my web pages into Word and created
a template. I need to have places in the template where I can insert
information, such a the photo's name before the .jpg extension, the
photo's caption, etc. I would like to have someway of having a
description at each insertion place of what is required and, also, to
have something pop up into which one types what is to be inserted.

The way I have it now is that I just have a description in red color
in the HTML code in the template of what is needed at each insertion
point, but I have to delete all this stuff before (or after) I enter
the information.


Anyway...any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,

gman
